HURON, S.D. (AP) — A Huron man is dead following a car fire in a local park. Police say the body of Al Lentz was found in the driver's seat Monday night after the blaze was extinguished. Authorities say Lentz apparently became disoriented and when he tried to drive up a steep hill, the car lost traction, slid back down the hill and became stuck, catching fire. Police say the death does not appear suspicious. An autopsy is planned. ___ Information from: KOKK-AM, http://www.kokk.com Copyright 2009 The Associated Press.
